It sounds like none of you people have seen "Waking the Dead" or "Inventing the Abbots", so I suggest you hop to it. My intense admiration for her acting ability comes mainly from those films and "Requiem". And she is the cutest, too. So she's got that going for her.[/b]

Sweet and Lowdown, Jesus' Son and Minority Report all feature great performances by her that have set the bar for acting by a female for today, in my humble *laughs* opinion.

Also, who could forget her in the pretentious music video for U2's "Electrical Storm" where she was able to act with the drummer, who pretended to be an actor and summed up the experience by saying, "She was yelling at me really loud." She just happened to be the only watchable thing for in that video.

I loved her in Requiem. It disappoints me that all the attention she recieved was for her performance in A Beautiful Mind which hasn't got shit on Requiem for a Dream either in movie terms or in terms of her performance (in my opinion). It would be nice to see her pick up some more great roles.

I do appreciate her taking the path of doing more 'serious' films rather than the shitty 'teen comedy' path she could have easily gone down (being as beautiful as she is).
